One call can change everything.
Kate’s life is practically perfect. She has a thriving career, an amazing best friend, and an incredible fiancé. Then a family accident forces her back to the small town she left over a decade ago. The place that holds some of her fondest memories and her most devastating heartbreaks.
Born and raised in the Midwest, Stephanie's love for reading began in elementary school thanks to BOOK IT and free pizza (IYKYK). She grew up reading everything from The Baby-Sitters Club to Shakespeare, and majored in English in college (plus two other majors because she's an overachiever).
After spending 20 years as a marketing leader and CEO, she decided to pursue her true passion: writing. Her debut romance novel, Practically Perfect releases in Spring 2026.
She's happily married to her husband of 20+ years and a mom to four kids and three dogs.
Stephanie is also the co-host of the Late Night Reads Podcasts where her and Megan dive into a contemporary romance, romantasy, or dark romance book every week.
Steph and Megan chat plot, character development, tropes, spice, and share all of their most unhinged theories. Think of each episode as having a conversation with friends...with no filter and definitely NSFW.
The Late Night Reads podcast releases new episodes every Wednesday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and more.
